Usually, a situation comes up and he says, "I'm going to treat this as a sklll challenge of complexity X. Your main skills will be _____." If it's a case where all of us will be participating, or where combat is involved, we roll initiative. I think we're still getting used to the concept of skill challenges and how exactly to run them, but in the meantime, this cut-and-dry style lets us know exactly where we stand in relation to our goal, and we can act according to that knowledge. Other methods may be more narratively exciting, but until we run enough of these to get used to running them, this works for us.</blockquote>
